The Arch, Bruny Island

 The Arch, Bruny Island

A short delay while we made our various ways to the start at the Cape Queen Elizabeth Trailhead. Then a straightforward walk to Miles Beach, a scuttle around the rocks at (nearly) low tide to find the Arch.

Passing Manuka Hills and the other ferry.




Setting off down the track



Big Lagoon


 

and a welcome lolly break!






Little Lagoon, dry as usual





There are several New Holland Honeyeaters flitting about in the shrub.






We chose the low tide route

This is the way we go.








A bit of nifty footwork to get around these rocks between the waves.





Fluted Cape across the bay

Looking across to Cape Queen Elizabeth



Is it a seal, no it's Fran 







We return by the same route










Our ferry arrives



Bubbles checking on her house, the umbrellas are still there



This was our spot for the return trip, squeezed in beside some poles.



There were 10 Ramblers, we took our own food (if we remembered to get it out of the fridge!)
